from a fellow Coast Guard wife I did a double take because my username for so many things is uscgwifey09 so for a minute I thought I wrote this thread and thought that was weird. Until I saw the 11, ha! We've always used disposables on flights even if we packed cloth for the trip.

I've mostly travelled on planes with disposables. They cut down on the bulk of carry-ons and you don't have to change as frequently (you should but you don't HAVE to in case of turbulence, meals being served, or any other obstacle to the bathroom). We switch to cloth as soon as we arrive though. Also, we only flew a few times before DS was on solids and then we did take cloth. He had frequent blow outs in disposables (we didn't start cloth until 4 months old) and I didn't want to risk a blow on a plane or during travel in general. It is a pain to change on airline change tables. They are hard, small and awkward. Bring along an extra special change table toy just incase for distraction, our cell phone worked great lol Whichever you choose bring 1/3 to double what you would generally use. Delays are a PITA and you don't want to be stuck somewhere without a change.

i didn't know they have changing tables in the bathrooms! Good to know. I'm sure it's itty bitty.

Done several intl flight with cloth. No big deal. Put the kid in an extra absorbent diaper (like night diaper) and only change on the plane if there's poop. If you're gate checking a stroller, put it in a bag for protection and toss your clean diapers in there (in wet bag). Easy!

If you want your diapers back, I wouldn't reccomend putting them in a stroller bag. They always rip mine...contents would be falling out.
